Whence wars and whence fightings among you? are they not from hence - due to your pleasures which are taking the field in your members?

Ye covet - and have not, ye commit murder, and are jealous - and cannot obtain, - ye fight and war. Ye have not - because ye do not really ask,

Ye ask and receive not, because that, basely, ye ask, in order that, in your pleasures, ye may spend it .
